It didn’t work out for me because according to the formula my “coach” provided, this deal did not include at least a 10% profit, and I didn’t care that it was a 6% profit, it was a good profit, and it wasn’t going to be the only deal, but I pitched it to the private money partners I was given access, but It wasn’t jumped on fast enough before another investor snatched it up for $1.3 mil all cash within a couple of days of my walking it.This was the problem with this “coaching” program… all my potential deals fell through because there never was at least a 10% profit, so I couldn’t get attention quick enough from the private money partners before another investor came in with all cash.

Please let me know of any steps or path forward on best ways to find and build relationships with potential investors.Thank you.
